London, Juno 9.?If this morning's news bc true,
as it probably is. it i- -i political event. The two
loading Unionist papou agree in announcing that
the licensing clauses of the Local Government bill
are to be dropped. The Ministry have taken a
very sudden resolution. Down to yesterday they
meant to postpone these clauses. Perhaps it may
Mill be felled postponement. Neither last Satur?
day's Hyde Park meeting tor Mr. Gladstone's op?
position greatly nlarmed them. It is the diseon
teut of their own supporters which has discon?
certed th' ir plans. There was discontent among
the Liberal-I'niinists, but it was not genoraL All
at onoe the metropolitan Conservative membors re?
volted. They met yesterday under tho presidency
of that vt a nc U Tory, Sir Algernon Borthwick,
and unanimously advised thc withdrawal of the
clauses for the present session. No reasons are
(riven, bat they are obvious. The dislike of tax?
payers to paying condensation for cancelled
licenses is ceneial, and Sir Algernon and his col
Issjaas are convinced that it cannot be overcome.
So liny counsel surrender. Nobody doubts that
the clauses could be carried, but only after a weary
and bitter st merle, which would weaken Um
M. -try more than this concession weakens them.
That most inconveniently candid friend of the
Government, " The Standard." remarks that the
lb me Wule fai t;on will make the most of the vic?
tory winch they may legitimately claim as a test),
mony to their strength, and will carry to the
Bl of their own cause the prestige of which
they have deprived the Unionist Government.
? The Times" is good enough to print a two
column account of the last sittin? of the Demo?
crat ie, Convention, plus a long leading article on
tho subject. Again wo are permitted to read
thrilling accounts of bandannas, pty cotton cloth.
j?oitraiN.horn-blowing, band-playing and the eccen?
tric dolivoraneos of excited Democrats. The author
nf this dispatch spares no detail which lead! to
make the proceedings seem ludicrous. Editorial
delight ever Mr. Cleveland's nomination is freely
(xpr'ssed. though the writer's enthusiasm is not
always according to his knowledge. I fear That
Mr. Godkin is not read in " The Times"' office,
when nothing sec-ms to Ik- known of his melan?
choly avowals of Mr. Cleveland's Civil Service
delinquencies. Ibo Repnbtieans, we are told, have
?roved none of their charges; the wholesale re
ino%als of political opponents have been brought
to an end; and Republican officials have kept
the places which they secured during a long
monopoly of Bowes. Perhaps it is on thc faith of
Ihlt curious delusion that Mr. Cleveland is said
to be a wort Im r representative of American
political life than has often been installed in the
White House. The other papers hardly allude to
the subject.
I met yesterday an Irish peer, who is.also a
lime Ruler, a combination occurring but seldom.
and ssksd him how things were going in Ireland.
" The Pope will win," was hi* sententious answer,
not less d?*?*onfeiited than smtentious.
There is very little Irish nows, unless it be
Irish news that Mr. John Morley has made one
more elaborate and pungent speech in London
Sgsiasl Coercion. Roth sides seem to be waiting
for the next MW! from Rome.
It is well understood that nobody now practises
obs'not ion, direct or indirect, in the House of
Commons. There were eighty-three ques?
tions on the paper Thursday night when the
Ljfe] Gorernfeent bill %vas coming, but all these
were of vital consequence. So, of course, was Mr.
EUis'l motion to adjourn the House in order to dis
MM ? mattel of urgent public importance, a mo
tii n supported bj nearly tho whole Opposition.
Tah particular matter of urgent public impor
prOTed to be the tithe disturbances in " gal?
lant little Wales." This having been disposed of
by ch sure, anotlr r Opposition motion followed,
wi:1.! the result that the House rot into Committee
on Locai Government at ten mlnntee to lt, and got
out again automatically at midnight.
' I/-t ne mend the House of Lords a little," says
its T< ry leader. The voice is tho voice of Lord
' it the man behind it is Lo:d Salisbury.
Eui Cadogan, as Lord Privy Seal, is one of the
?eel dignified ann ornamental members of the
Cabinet, whose wife gives exeelleal parties as Cado?
gan lions?. But it is not from him that will
onie any great measure of reform for the House
Sf Lords. No, nor from Lord Salisbury either.
Tins is not a great measure of reform; it is a lit?
tle measure, meant to stave oft" that great BMBSOJN,
Whiel imi^t come some (lay or other. All it does
sppolal a Shot Committee to report on tho
ksndlni Orderi of the House. This committee
%vill consider at what hour the House ou^ht to
meet, how many ought to constitute a quorum,
Whether the Lord Chancellor ought not to have
PowertSSSj who shall s;>ouk when several corn
lie'.tors rise together, how old a Peer ought to be
Whoa he takes his set, and other such matters,
Rene of them <;iiit.o radical.
Lore! ( sdogao, however, pledged the Ministry
lag in a bill to create lifo peerages and enable
the Honst to rips] black sheep. This is what
Lord Salisbury some time since intimated he would
do. lt is the day of small mercies
IV panic about National defence was supposed
to have bat ii decently interred on Monday by Lord
'? [ami t ??:.. A % cry good Royal Commission
Was appolated to bury it, with Lord Hartington
Bl ehaiaBSB. Rut neither Sir Edward Hamley
*? ' Lord Wolseley will allow it to be buried. Kir
Edward bas wrtttea another letter and Lord
Wolseley bas ? sde another speech; and now " The
Lady Telegraph'' starts a fresh scare,
sad seems inclined to hang Lord George
i: too because he is not scared,
to haag Mr. Stanhope, and appoint a Minister
ol National Define, with full control over tho
?Jl | and Navy. The other popers, including the
oriana! patent ?<? of sensational scares, cannot be
lad iced to take the oracle of Fleet-st. seriously.
Nor doss the British public seem seriously frights
sm i.
Perhaps the real sensation of the week is the
hm*, i st jimmy relatinc to th* Board ol Works in
i'iUiii'-s. The whole story about corrupt dealings
Jn the Pivilion Music Hall business came out yes
;md other stories aro coming. The evi?
dence is the evidence of those who took part in the
trhtisactions, and the Board is doomed.
The sweating inquiry, too, supplies a weekly
BmssttOW, The evidence affects many well-known
Arms af tailors, as far apart as Poole and Benja?
min, and several others, including Redfern. Yes?
terday Mr. Arnold White accused Mr. Maple of
kSBptlteg arith, his witnesses. 'Ihe Committee of
Ihl Lords twice cleared the room, in order to con
?iet the matter, and linally adjourned, leafing thc
'iuistion anea.
The pablishod aoosants af Mr. Bright's progress
OantiLue to !*? favorable, and um true, so iur as
?Bf relate to hil recovery from congestion of the
IhlBB, Ba| j um sorry to say that his family
c<'ii.?ider his condition one of extreme weakness.
It is characteristic of London journalism that
?U. Blaine should have come and gone without a
word in any leading paper. If he had been the
King of Sweden he would have boen honored by
paragraphs everywhere. Being merely the fore?
most of living American statesmen, his arrival
and depart ti re are matters of no interest to tho
average British render. When Mr. Blaine was
hore Inst summer ho was, as you know, much
lionized in Lnglish society. He made many
friends who looked forward to seeing him a,Tain,
and ho would ha\*o been received with cordial.ty
not less than that of last year. But his present
stay in Loudon was less than a week, and he chose
to avoid parties and dinners, and willed at but two
or three houses, whose owners had particularly
interested him. The two persons whose ac
( quaintance he now has first made are Sir George
' Trevelyan, whom he met at lunch, aud his country?
woman, Madame Waddington, wife ot the French
I Ambassador, with whom he took tea thc afternoon
I Oeforf he left.
Mr. Whistler retires from the Presidency of the
Royal Society of British Artists with something
more than the honors of war. Defeated by the
Philistine majority, ho takes out with him
nearly every man whoso work gave distinction
SS tho Society. Mr. Alfred Stevens, of Paris, Mr. j
Waldo Story, Mr. Roussel, Mr. Jacomb, Mr. Hood
and many other artists shake off the dust of
Suffolk Street once for alL There remain a
eompany of painTers who have signally failed to
interest the public or to give any promise of good
work. Mr. Wyko Bayliss is the new president,
a most respectable person.
? The Mikado"* was revived on Thursday even?
ing at tho Savoy Theatre with all the circum?
stances of ceremony usually attending a first night.
The Princess of Wales and her daughters and
Princess Louise were present, and many other per?
sons of varied distinction. Sir Arthur Sullivan
condueted. The cast remains the same as before,
except that Mr. .1. G. Robertson replaces Mr. Loly
and Miss Geraldine I'lmnr is now the " Yum-Yum."
" The Standard.^ whose critic is a person of aus?
terity, speaks of her as specially graeoful in move?
ments and attitudes, and singing and acting with
charm. Messrs. Gilbert, and Sullivan's opera %vent.
in fact, as well as over from beginning to end,
neither Mr. Gilbert's humor nor Sir Arthur Sulli?
van's music seeming to have lost any part of its
hold on a London audience. D'Oyley Carte
has mounted the opera with his usual taste and
splendor.
Thc more deliberate criticism of thc weeklies
on Miss Calhoun's Hester Prynnc in " Thc Scarlet
Letter'1 is even more favorable than tho next
morning's impressions of the first night in the
daily papers. I quote Mr. Wedmore in " Tho
Academy" : " Miss Calhoun has grasped the true
character of Hester; proud and embittered when
the town reviles her. penitent when alone, full
ot tenderness, and full of womanliness. The per?
formance is consistent and harmonious. It has
real beauty." From this and other notices, as '
well a.s from tho interest shown by society and
the general public, it is clear that this young
American actress has made no slight impression
on tho play-going world of London.
I am desired by the Honorable Stephen Cole?
ridge, who thinks That I made an invidious dis?
tinction between Tho authors of "Tho Scarlet
Letter,? to say that none such should in his
opinion, nor in the opinion of Mr. Norman Forbes,
tie drawn. " Wo give ourselves to tho world," he
%vrites, " as joiut authors. As such, we wish to
be accepted for better or for worse." I am sorry
if my distinction was invidious, the more so as I
steted thc facts correctly. But everything shall !
give way to the joint wish of the joint authors.

STATEMENT* OF TnE CATTAI* AND nt.OT OF THK
JOPPA*
Rainmore. Juno 9.?No nows of tho recovery of tho
body of T. Harrison Garrott has as jot been received.
A statement from CsptSiB Wheeler, of the steamer
Joppa, which ran Into and sunk tho yacht Gleam, was
IBtBlBSd this morning on tho arrival of his vessM at
Paltlmnte. Ho says :
"just hoforo tho accident I was In the saloon aft.
[ heard two whistles and In about a minute two moro,
short and quick. I then started for th'* pilot house and
;ot about to tho forward stairway when I heard tho
loll? ring, with a Jingle, to stop and back full -peed.
Hefore I got out of the forward door we had struck.
In seven minutes wo had ono boat lowered. 1 looked
;vor tho bow and ashed if tho yacht was sinking. Tho
eply came from several voices, 'Yes.' I told tho
people on tho yacht to come aboard of tho Joppa and
leveral of them did so. Wo laid by the yacht and took
hem off. They had ono of their boats at tho yacht's
torn aiding In taking oh* tho people. Wo remained In
ho vtolnlty looking for tho body until 1 :30 a. m.
?'Mday. Somebody said there was a cry for help near
mr storn, before we got our boat out, but I did not hear
ho voice myself.-'
Captain Phillips, the Joppa's pilot, said: "I saw tho
?acht when sho was about a mlle off. Sho was going
apldly. We blew twice, and then tho yacht answered
vlth tho same signal. She kept advancing and %%'0
dew twice asaln and she BBIWQICfl with one blast and

o us until wo backed away, and then SSS drifted to tho
SStWSrd, I did not soo Mr. Garrett, If the yacht had
iopt her course ws would have passed each other about
00 or 200 yards apart"
Darry Taylor, one of tho Joppa's passengers, says
hat tho Joppa, ii] on lighting the yacht, blew two
ihistles which were not answered, and after a lapso
if several minutes two moie btBSBj were ghras from
l.o stesaase. This time th>- yacht whietlsd aaec and
ippaiCBtly everything was all right, suddenly, dow?

TAMMANY SALUTES THE OOTSBJIOI AND INVITES
HIM TO A RATIFICATION
A fpeclal train of litsee cars n Bed Into the Grand
Central Station about 10 :iJO a. m. v unlay, and out
of them poured a tired, dusty, hungry, thirsty, un
ShBjesa crowd, known as tba Tammany delegation to
the Democratic National Convention. No bands of
mu-lo welcomed these tired veterans of the 0/SStsrn
campaign, and tho crowd that received them was
iinlthor largo nor enthusiastic, yet the tuon as they
stepped from tho rars ha/1 the appearance of being
well Hati-fled wtth themselves and of the part, they

ci.glncer and fireman then rolled him off the tender,
while tho train was at full speed. Colonel Haren,
the detective, ls disposed to regard tho attempted,
robbery as tho work of tramps, and the facts show
that If done by professionals they made poor cholco

of Intended robbery, as after the shooting of Baggage
mastrr Ketcham, the robbers entered the car, rirletl
tho wounded man's pockets, and reloaded their re?
